JOURNAL AND REGISTER. BANKS SUSPENSION AND RESUMPTION. In our publication of the replies of the Banks to the question of the Legislature, as to what led to the suspension, and when a resumption wilt be effected, we omitted those of the Lancaster and Steubenville Banks, because of their great length. We give extracts from the replies below. The Lancaster Bank ; The onuses which led to tha suspension of specie payments by the Ohio Banks, in May las', wero to notorious at tlio time tha suspension took place, thut we did suppose (hoy were known to every one: but it see ma to be otherwise, and we will therefore giv, in na brief s manner n possible, the ronsons, us we suppose, which induced the suspension. At the time the Ohio Banks declined the rudcmpiion of thrir bills with specie, llify were apprised Mint the Banks of the tiiatos North and Souih, East nnd West, had generally, if not universally, suspended specie payments. The Ohio Banks were well aware that s continuance of specie payments, under such a condition of things, would subject thorn to heavy ' and constant drafts on iht-ir ciin, and (lint, too, by Banksuf other States, which had closed their doors to (hismude of payment. They deemed it gross lolly nay, worse highly criminal, to continue a course of operations which must result in absirnctinjj, to their full amount, the precious metals from Ohio, while, so fur as they could soe, no corresponding benefit would result therefrom. In this condition of the monetary uflhirs of the country, and with the further embarrassment arming from a refusal of the Land Offices to receive Hank paper in payment of the public lunds, the Ohio Bunks felt it to be an imperious du;y to adopt the coume they did, for i he purpuso of guarding against consequences which they foresaw must prove fatal to tlie Bunks, and diauatrous to the besi interests of ilie State. Tlie suspension of specie payments by the Ohio Banks was nearly simultaneous, and without concert: allowing that similar views and similar feelings influenced thf m to the course iliey took. To that part of the resolution which requires an opinion os to the time when the Banks expect to resume specie payments, a simple declaration Uiat tee do not know, might be deemed an iusuliicieni answer. The interrogatory would seem to warrant an opinion of the policy or impolicy of resuming, in iliu present condition of the country. Presuming that s few remarks on a subject in which the public is so deeply concerned, will nut be deemed either out of place or impertinent, we will proceed to give them, in as brief s manner as possible, and thin leave it for those who are to puss upon this important matter, to determine how farlhuy ought, and how fur they ought nor, toytve their support to a measure brought forward for the purpose of coercing the Belike into a resumption of specie payments, in the present embarrus-si?d condition of the country, and in the face of a declaration by (hose whohuve both thepowerand the disposition to enforco it, that nothing but gold and silver will be received on account of public lands; nnd that, in all time to come, Bank paper will be refused, even if converted into coin at the will of the holder. It is known to the veriest tyro in banking, that the useful nt a of Banks nay, that their very existence, d pends on public confidence. It' Mint is withliold, they can be of no use, either to the community in which they are located, or to those interested in them. Tlie refusal at the Land Olfices of specie paying Bank notes, when for fifteen or twenty years (buy have been received, and without a mason being assigned lor the refusal, wns eminently calculated to discredit Bank paper with the public generally. It is a fact notorious to the most casual ubsurver, end which it were useless to attempt to disguise, even il we felt inclined to do so, that tlie mea sures ol the Secretary ol the 1 rwiaury, since July, 1834, in reference to Western Bank p!tper,huvc resulted, whethitr so intended or not, in exciting a general distrust of paper money i and the unfurl unit te compulsory suspension of spucie payment, which followed Soon after, completed the mischief the Secretary began. It the Specie Circular ware rescinded, and Bonk pa pe rum do receivable in piymeutof public lauds, the confi dence of the public in Bttnk uoh'S would be at once r-'storcu, nnu the Western Ilnnks could, and would, commence thepuymeut ol specie for their notes forthwith t but to attempt a resumption while tlw country is so deeply in debt, and under the low discredited condition of pnper money, would I ring on s stato of things which no benevo lent mind co in U contemplate but with Inclines ol tlceo lerret. We will now endeavor to show what we believe would be tlrt result of the resumption of speci payments in the present condition of the Banks and the country: The paper circulation would be itiinrned for pnvment as fust ni the holders could present it Bank notes would dissappear from circulation t and, oe a consequence, the vaults ot the Banks would bo emptied ol cum No further discounts or loans would or could he maths, nor Bink notes issued; and fur this obvi ous reason, there would be no coin on which to liase sn issue. Tho Bunks would then bo in condition to collect their debts, (tf thut were possible,) and wind up ttioir affairs. Il any one en tertoins a belief that the coin taken from the Banks would paas into circulation, and till the vacuum created Dy toe wiinurawai oi (tie paper, such individual will find, should the experiment ol s resumption be made, that he was most wo fully mistuken. A large proportion !' the specie would be drawn hy those who would invest it in the purchase of Government lands; it would go into and be locked up in sub-Treasuries, (ill wanted for public use) and when expended, it wmild he In sections of the country lar distant from Ohio and the other Western Steles. Not a ty the of tho amount paid fur public lands in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, end Michiiran, would be ex nended in that reuion of country which stretches irom the loot ol the mountains to tlie Mississippi. That portion of coin tnkon from the Binks and not used in purchases from Government, would be locked tip by the miser and usurer. The amount thus held miiihl as well, lor all useful pun poses, he in the mint's from whence it was taken, or buried in the drptlis of (ho ocean. But if, per chince, any ponton of it should escape Irom tta prison house and find its way into circulation, it would be on terms ruinous to those who were auxiliary to il. Such, we apprehend, would be some, tfiough few, of tho ruinous consequences which would flow from a resumption ol specie payments by tho Bunks in tho now discredited condition ol their paper. Bui the worst is not told. The people of Ohio ore deeply indebted to the Banks to the amount, we liclievn, of some fifteen millions ofdullnrs, resulting in part from their Inst year's unfortunate firodurespecultttionstand they would contimi;to o so indebted ofter the specie-paving; process had gone through, nnd left (he Stato destitute, or I nearly so, uf a circulating medium the specie-paving process having, ua we have before shown, stripped the country ot both coin and paper. It then becomes a matter of grave end inte resting speculation, how or by whut means ibis debt is lo bo cancelled Tins stone is a problem sufficiently difficult of solution, without stopping lo consider the countless thousands due by individuals to one another, the collection of which, in sedition, would curry the distreoi ihroughout all the ramifications of society. There is but one way lhat we can eee,bv which thisenormousdcbt, uniW such s siato ol things, could be paid within a reasonable time. Oiiu-founh part, or perhaps one huh the property of the country would be , aaerilici-d lo clfect il. In tins dt plornbla condition of affairs, dm lintls of Legislation would be ; beset by thousands of suppliants, imploring the Lrgisloture for relief. If, therefore, praters were ' In tho tin! instance unlierdrd, a People, undo . dutperste hy the ruin thut menaced them, would -then prefer their complaints in language that could not be misunderstood, and which it miirht be don- S-fi eruusfor their Kcpnacotattvesto diire;jurii reft Ik would be the wdcr of the day, ami lbs c"nrtMitiiiin of lha land would ba made tu band to he uoeoasiues of a suffering community. Prudent inenwillbewareofbeinfrauxilisry to bringing about such a state of things; none but those incapable of foreseeing the consequences of their own rash act, will attempt it. The Stcubenville Bank: The efforts which have been recently made to impair public confidence in the Farmers1 and Me chanics Bank of Steubenville, on account of ita temporary suspension of specie payments, have induced the undersigned, directors of lhat institution, to present to the public a brief exposition of the causes which led to tho adoption of that measure, and which yet operate, to require us continuance.' While they freely admit, that the existence of a papor currency, which is not con vertible into specie at the pleosure of the holder, is a serious public evil, they leel the fullest confidence that, with a knowledge of all the circum stances connected with the measure in question, snd the motives which induced it, there are few in the community who, upon s dispassionate consideration of the subject, will be disposed to cen sure il. Fur the purposes intended by this address, it is not necessary to review and discuss the causes which have brought about the existing embarrassment in the pecuniary and commercial concerns of the country. It insufficient to advert to the fact, that the result of the commercial operations between this country and Euroue. during the last year, was the accumulation of an unprecedented amount of debt, s si favor of the foreign merchants and manufacturers. The ordinary means relied on for the payment of a debt thus crested, are the agricultural products ol the country, especially the cotton of the southern States; but the prices of theso products in the foreign market having been oreatly nnd unexpectedly reduced, they proveu insufficient to pay the debt oa it became due and, as an unavoidable consequence of this deficiency, large summits of specie were required for exportation. This state of things produced, at once, on extraordinary demand for specie and un incessant run upon the Banka in the eastern cities. They found it necessary, in order to prevent their specio from being drawn out and exported, to suspend payment. This measure having been universally adopted by the Eastern and Southern Banks, no alternative was loft to the Ohio, and other Western Banks, but to follow thoir example. ino undersigned most sincerely regretted that a resort (o this measure, on the part of the Fanners' and Mechanics Bank, been mo necesary; and tliuy oasure the public, lhat had no demands upon the institution been made or anticipated, except by our own citizens and for domestic purposes, it would have continued specie payments. But, in ineir view, me policy, nay, the ncecsity, ot tha course adopted by them, was obvious; and they think it will be fully vindicated and clearly illustrated, by considering what would have been tho inevitable consequences, if the Western Bankti had continued specie payments, after all the Eastern Banks had rinsed thrir vaults. The fact being known that the Western Banks continued to puy specie, and specie commanding in llm commercial cities a premium of from seven to twelve per cent., it is apparent, that (ho West would huve been speedily visited with orders of brokers, money changers' and speculators, in eager pursuit of it, for exportation. The effect would have been, lhat the Western Banks would have been drained of every dollar of their coin. But, so far as the community ia concerned, this woutu not nave been the whole extent ot the evil; the Bunks would have been compelled to make extraordinary efforts to meet the demands against them they must nut only have refused to discount a single dollar, but must have pressed their debtors for immediate payment. The property uf ineso act) tors, in the state ot unrigs here supposed, must have been sacrificed, and a most unparalleled sceno of distress, accompanied with a total prostration of business, and groat depression in the prices of properly, would have been the certain result. And, it will be obvious, that this deplorable condition of things would not have been of brief duration it would have continued for a series of years. The Bunks, deprived of their specie, nhd without the mesns of regaining if. would have had neither the means, or any inducement, at any future period, to rosume business. Their only course would have been, to collect their outstanding debts as soon as practicable and bring their concerns to a close. And what lhn would have Wen the condition of the country for a succession of years? The groat proportion of the specie of the country Ironsoortcd lo Europe. and the Banks affording no paper currency, wt should be literally without a circulating medium, ana snouia be driven lo the primitive system of bartering and exchanging one commodity for nuMipr. Without entering more at Urzo into the consid eration of ibis subject, may it not be safely af firmed, that the eourse pursued by the institution with which we are connected, in common with the other Western Banks, is that which is most promotive of the present and future interests of the country! The undersigned solemnly asftura ilie public that such ieoj and ii (heir doliberato conviction. And ihey conlidcnily assort, lhat hud they been governed b ihe more consideration of advancing (heir own interests as stockholders, a different course would have been adopted. They hazard nothing in saying, thai had the Bank continued specie payments pressed its debtors for payment purchased their property, (a in that event ihey would have been compelled to do) tho profits to the stockholders, of ouch an operation, would have been greater dun all the dividends ihey will receive from this period to tho expiration of the charter of the Bank. In regard lo the tune when specie payments may po resumed, the undersigned c:in only say, that tho state of the institution which is entrusted to their management is such, as lo enable il to pay specie whenever the Eastern Banks shall do so and they have no doubt but theso Banks will resume the moment thai specie shall cease to ho on object of speculation for shipment nbruad. The suspension of Ibis Bmk having been inconsequence of the prior suspension of the Eastern Banks, its return to specie payments must follow theira; and it is I lie purpose of the undersigned, as it will be llieir pride and pleahiirr, to sos iliat the latter shall be as prompt as the former. And, as an evidence of a disposition on thoir part, to mitigate, aa far as practicable, the evils of the existing stale of things, tUav appeal to the lacta that (he institution hue continued lo furnish the community with specie change for its notes; and they assure the public that it is thoir determination to pursue this course, so long as lbs Bank can supply itself wilh small coin.

In tlio ititermctltiling wiib tlie currency, that hai brought on thii nation inrh laial disasters, convulsing ni it wero lite wltolo btiiineaa con comments nf the country to the very centre., there ie nothing that shows greater woakuees, ol-ignorance of financial operation. than the di-a- pornfc attempt that haa lircntnadeto suppress tin i cirotilutiun ot the lower denomination of bsn! . notes. Throw the small tioiea out of circulalioni snd their place must be supplied with the pre-ctous metals for circulating currency, elae, at hns been the onse for some lime past, there wt'l be no currency for common business transselions but lite sliin-plnstors uf individuals snd corpora tiutia. If tho precious metals were to be aulisii-luted, so much specie capiial must be drawn from the moneyed iustitiiliona of the country. And il ia b matter of tact, that ennnot bo denied, tttBlthe amount of specie in the United States is not mucb mor. then enoutfh to answer the wants oi tlx People for ilie smaller domestic exchangee,nllow--ing the most economical and wisely sdjuatrd sy lem of commercial transactions lo be in vouo . What then would banking inetiimione do fir .a basis for issues of the larger denominations) The fact is, the suppression of the circulation o f small bills is the Loco f'oco dicirino in disguise. It iB virtually carrying into ctrcct the svstcin ol n hard money currency. Adopt this sclieme, ontl banking institutions that are compelled to reduen i their notes with specie, (and none other should 1 1 cutild be tolerated,) would bo cuneiraincd towing up their concerns. Thoir business must bo limi ted proportionality to their specio cnpusli and this would then be so sinsll, it would bs no object 10 continue opeiatinns. No banks should bo chsriered, unlrss tnsde sa 10 in so.ne wsy to the public unless Ihe rodent n-lion of their billa be made sura. And thus responsible, why not issus small notes as well us large! If. bank be not reBUoneihlc, there ouj hi. in truth lo be noemieeiun but if aaff, whnt is iho dillrrence, whether it issues one ihoiisnnd tine dollar bills, or one, one thou. and duller bill I l ia argued thai the larger denominations arc wanted tor commercial exchanges, snd they noght: lo he retained fur llisl purjmse. But they aro not. wanted fur that use, ss much as tlio smaller.

Throw oiw ol' cir culation small bills, and there is no substitute for this kind of remittance. But for large remittances, drafts may be obiuined, and the Turgor notea oe dispensed with. They may oe necessary at times, when drafts are refused, or sold at too high rates-ond being less bulky, and perhaps at timea more easily sent home for exchange, they are convenient; but not so absolutely necessary as those of the smaller denomination. And if either are to be dispensed wilh, let it be the larger. It ia acknowledged that real capital is wonted in the countrv. for carrying on the larize amount of business the enterprising people of this repub lic lain would execute, now it nanus do necessary to afford a fictitious capital for facilites of commercial transactions, mode responsible to cunununityb) the security of properly, let them have oil the specie basis that can be obtained, in order to oxlend, within the bounds of their resources of redemption, their loans and discounts as fur os possible, for public accommodation. The people of the "Empire State" have seen the folly ot their course, and are likely to repeal the obnuxious law prohibiting the circulation of email notea. From tii Lebanon fltsr OHIO INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. We are indebted to our Representative for the Report of the Board of Public Works, which shows the condition of the works of internal improvement in the State. It covera 6 octavo pages. We will endeavor to condetiae it ao as to give Ihe tubitanct without the verbiage. I. The Ohio Canal hits been navigable from the 20ih of April to the 1st of December, wilh the exception of 20 miles at lite South end. The navlgntion of this psrt was suspended in consequence of the destruction of a alone aqueduct of about SO feet apan, 10 miles from Portsmouth, occasioned hy the sudden rise of Cump creek. Kromlhe difficulty of obtaining hands, the overflowing of the Scioto, and the continual fevers prevalent in that region, the repairs of the aqueduct were not completed until late last fall. The consequence haa been a eerioua detriment to the interests of the people of the Suioto valloy, and a loss to the State in lolls. The amount received for tolls, fines and water ronis, tic, for the year ending Dec. I, Ut37, in $293,40 79. The receipts for 1031), were $211,023 32 allowing on increase for 1837 over IU36 of $01 ,(103 47. Taking into conaideralion lite genoral depreesinn in the business operations of the country and the time lost in repairs, this result is highly gratifying. The Ohio Canal, we believe, ii3ll) miles long, reaching from Portsmouth, on ihe Ohio River, to Cleveland, on Lake Ene. The It'Mimditig and Moltiran Canal, oa far as located, is 23 miles in length, extending from the Ohio Canal, war Roscoc, to a point on the Mohican, about four miles above tho junction formed by the Vernon and Mohican Rivers. Eighteen miles are wow under contract, and Ihe work ia progreeaing wilh much spirit. It. estimated cost is $307,467 14. The Board propose the extension ol il to some feasible point in Richland County; up Vernon river to Mount Vernon in Knox county i and np iba Killbuck lo Milleraburgh, in the county of Holm.. HabaAand Erit Canal. This important work, eighty-nine miles in length, extending from iis termination near Mauhattun, lo Ihe Indiana line, is now under contrueiTnd when finished will be of immense advantage to Ihe people ot Ohio and Indians. It will form, when coinploted, a continuous esnsl commutiicsiiun from Lafayette, on the Wabasb river, to the town of Manhattan, a distance, we believe, of about two hundred miles. It paeses through lerule and deligbtlul region of country, mostly of spurae population and Mine of it b ttildemtur which, we have no doubt in a few years, will become the habitation of en en lerprising, indostrious and intelligent poputstion, who wilfcleave down the forests and erect cities, tnwna aud villagca,and promote, on a new field, all the arts of civilimd life. The estimated cool of Ohio's proportion of this Canal, ia $1,900,540. The funda for ita cunatruction ore derived from the Bale of the "Wabash and Erie Canal lands." Sales to the- amount of $31)3,1100 have already been made. The Board ia uf opinion, that no further sale, aiiotiid take pluce until the lunds re enhanced in value by tlie eonatruction of the Canal, and that l Stale can more advuiBgeoua-ly borrow money fir ir.prc.eiit prosecution. The Mnmn Canal.

We are not of those who affect any overweening sympathy for the fortunes of the Indian race, or extravagant odmirnn'in oi tnetr diameter. That they nave been moat inhumanly persecuted hy the white races, since Ilia first settlement of the country, is moat true. h'Jil'ey hove often taken cruel revenge on their eivTized conquororB ia noleasso. But of their inferiority, intellectually apeaking, to the whitea there can bo no doudl and their destiny, therefore, haa been of necessity lhat of subjection to ua. Their high moral qualities, and their wild bill blameless life, and their coursge, we lenve to another occasion. A great man of them greater doubtless because his blood wss bnlf white, though his habits were all Indian, haa fallen among them. In estimating him thereibre,it is necessary to make soma deduction for our own race. Had hi. counacla been atrictly adhered toby the greedy, grasping Government agentaaent into Florida bolore the war broke out, all would have been well but they had their aetfish views, and were punished for it with ig-nominous death) and many's the stream and the everglade there, that fur these mercenary men haa aince drunk deeply of Ihe blood of our beat chivalry. If Osceola had lived and gons on the prairies west, 30,000 men, as he told Mr. C. wera there to do hie bidding. He made numberless enquiries of Mr. U. of the wood, watoraud game of lhat region; and there's no doubt bis mind was fixed to g , and there lo have recommenced a ferocious, cruel and bloody border wor, lo which lhal ot Florida and all ita attendant horrora would have proved a mere episode. The Cammonchce, Ihe Osngee, the Pawnees, and thonaanda of their mounted warriora, with spear of knight and caparisoned horse, would, under this noble Chief, hove covered the llowrr-ennmellid prairies with their conquering hordes, and carried doaih and ruin throughout the border of tlio Miasisaippi from Texas lo Wiaconain. So fur, therefore, his deuth haa been a fortunate event for the frontier actilcrs there, and we doubt if the newa does not dampen tho ardor of hia attccesaors, Wild Cat and Alligator, now fighting for tho honor of their incarcerated Chief, who waa Ihe soul, Ihe life, ihe very body and tmpulae of every movement in Florida, and whoae noma imparted a laliemanic charm that proved an inspiration to battle though he waa not there. Now thai his spirit has winged its wsy to etornily, the face of affairs may entirely change. All who compare the fine portraits of Osceola, which happily for lite curious Mr. Cailin haa so fortune!' ly aeiied at the very last puaeage of his glorious life, will be struck with the perfect correspondence of their trails to all that we know of hia character, and aleo of the immeaaurable die-tancc there ia between his physiognomy snd form nnd thnt of the mere Florida Indian himaelf, like Micanopy, Cloud, Coadjoho, who aro of a darker hue and coarser features, analogoua to lite African. While Oaceola'a bear Ihe very stamp of high mstlled nobility and of commanding geniua. Tlie penaive melnncholy cast of expression, the lurking tire of B noble black eye, a lowering forehead, whose finely carved and compressed outline and playful smila indicate an unflinching firmness of resolve. PUBLIC SYMPATHY. The following article, we copy from the Louisville Dsily Herald of Wednesday last. We perfectly agree with the aitihur, thai our sympathies should, at least, 6rgtrt at home. Wa have been lavish of ihem abroad. A SvatrvrnxTic PxnrLi. Th. citlxens of ihe United Slates are certainly the ntoal aympa-thetic people in Ihe world. They have sympaihis ed with Ilia South Americans, with the Ureeks, with Ihe Poles, with lite Tetisns, with the Canadians, and with cvsry othsr set ol foreign Patriota, who Have raised the standard of revolt agaittal tyranny and nrsrulo. They have from time lo time tnsde liberal donation, of money, arma and iniiniliona of war, lo aid Ihe oppressed against their oppreasors. The pulpits in their churches hsseediued and vibrated with ptituo denunciations againat tne enemies ol liberty and the rights of man. Collections have been taken up, as lof a Isoly purpose, to aid muse who claimed to b. atniggling lor freedom. The preasea have groaned with Ihe labor of throwing otf folio after folio, teeming with expruatioua of indignation againat tyranny. The people have met in primary assemblies anu passea uy acclamation resolutions expreeeing their Bvmpnihy fur the euflerera nndor nuarule, and their hatred of evil rulers. Stump orators have racked their brains to introduce into their liarrangueainoiaphora and anilities lo type the barbarity of Spain upon her colonies, the outrage, of the Turkish infidel upon tlio Clirisitnn Oruek, the vengeance ol tne izar upon the devoted Poles, the butcheries by the Muxicona ot lite unoffending Texiaua, and ihe gross outrages of Ureal Utitoin in her Canadian colonica. And while til these charitablo deeda have been doing for people abroad, and while we have been proclaiming ouiaclve e lo the world as the champions of right and libeity, and boasting of our benevolcuec uud jtieiico, wo havelost sight of the homely insxim, thai Vtarittbeimathotne and we huve overlooked deeds of oppression within ourown borders, more cruolanu ruthless than any, lhat in the aame lime, have been enacted by other nations. Wa have boon brim full are overflowing, with "tjmitathy" for people wlio have suffered from tlie wreng doing of olher govern-insntst but wliBthave boen our feelings lor those aull'eriug undor the opprcaaion of our earn Wo nave treated with tribes within our borders, aa with aovercigu nations. Wa have infracted th. tiealies, and scorned their complaints. We have snjfered our people tu commit outrages upon them, and denied them the right lo come into a Court of jtulice lor redress. Wo have over-awed Ihem with our power, and lorced ili.in to barter tnctr lands at our pticr, and then remove from them, or when they have reftiaed, we have waged against them B cruel war of extermination. We have had among ua a nation the Crecka who in less than hull a century emerged Irom bsrborisui lo civilisation, and made a progress in refinement and in the eultivatiun of toilers, unparalleled in Ihe some space of time, by any people known to history. They adopted our manners, our cusioms, ourortsaud our religion, and would have been a living monument of our national benevolence, and Honor lo its character, had not we Buttered them to ba pillagsd of their lauds, 10 have their dwellings, seliool-houat-s and churches destroyed, and their priming preasea broken up, and their books, which ihey had printed in their own languago, and in letlera of tliuir own invention, t burned with a ruiblesanesa that has no parallel, auva in the hoards ol Omar. All Ihrss tilings have born dona within our own territory nmler our very eyes, cvrn while wa were tympathitirtg wilh tha upprvaaed of Foreign Governments. It ia time wu were apending ouriytn-patliynl Aonit. The conduct ol Inquisitorial bpuin lowuids Itor Anuri can colonics, and lha tyranny ol Russia over Poland, allord no instances of greater outrage, than have been porpeiraled bvuur Government, or with tiesaHciioii, upon the Sacs, the Creeks, and tlio Suininoles.f Th. Black Hawk wur had its origin in this one ufthe sons of the chief hada ditiiculty with a trader, the magistrate rolused to Like the olli-davit of the Indian, because ludi.tns were not allowed lo lesiily.

The Ueorgiana ill on. of their attacks upon tlio Creeks, burned every thing Ihuy could get in th. form ol bouke or writing nisteri-sis, and destruyed the nisnuscripts ol ihe history of the nation, which ou. of the duel's had been carefully preparing for years. t The war wilh ihe Ssiiuno lee began in this that the wifenf Osceola was claimed aa a slave, taken from him nnd sold, and himaelf aftorwurttaironod and imprisoned fur some .xprvasioiia h. usod lo-wsrds Col, Thompson.

We take from the New York Evening Star, a cautionary notice, which ia subjoined for the amusement of the Ohio Rail Rail Hoad Company, a corporate body well known in this State, and utmewhal, surely, out of those limits. The Company "was charteredby the Ohio Legitlalure in 1836," and the capita is accurately stated in the extract, and will, we doubt not, be actively employed (when "the Government" shall lighten the pressure of its hard haled currency) in the construction of ore or thk most important internal improvements of the Bge a continuous line of Rail Road from East to West, through Northern Ohio, connecting, on the line of Michigan, with the great Rail Road enterprise of that State, and, on Ihe line of Pennsylvania, wilh a continuation, through the North part of that State, of the New York and Erie Ruil Road, We do not so much wonder at the Star for locating Richmond (a flourishing village near the mouth of Grand river, on Lake Erie) where is the principal office of the Company "some twen! ty miles above Cincinnati, on the Ohio river," as we do that an Editor in Ohio should affirm that "such as inetitotion has never been chartered by our Legislature." Ohio Ailai, Caution. The Piqua Courier, of the 13th ult., takes the following notice of the issue of notes, at a village some twenty miles above Cincinnati, on the Ohio river. $4,000,000 Capitai,! The public should be on their guard when bills, purporting lo be issued by tho "Ohio Kail Rosd Company,11 and dated at Richmond, Ohio, nre ottered. The face of the notes state that the company was chartered by the Ohio Legislature in 1036, granting them a right to operate on a capital of 4,000,000 of dollars! Such an institution has never been chartered by our Legislature. ExcBAHors.

JOURNAL AND REGISTER. BANKS SUSPENSION AND RESUMPTION. In our publication of the replies of the Banks to the question of the Legislature, as to what led to the suspension, and when a resumption wilt be effected, we omitted those of the Lancaster and Steubenville Banks, because of their great length. We give extracts from the replies below. The Lancaster Bank ; The onuses which led to tha suspension of specie payments by the Ohio Banks, in May las', wero to notorious at tlio time tha suspension took place, thut we did suppose (hoy were known to every one: but it see ma to be otherwise, and we will therefore giv, in na brief s manner n possible, the ronsons, us we suppose, which induced the suspension. At the time the Ohio Banks declined the rudcmpiion of thrir bills with specie, llify were apprised Mint the Banks of the tiiatos North and Souih, East nnd West, had generally, if not universally, suspended specie payments. The Ohio Banks were well aware that s continuance of specie payments, under such a condition of things, would subject thorn to heavy ' and constant drafts on iht-ir ciin, and (lint, too, by Banksuf other States, which had closed their doors to (hismude of payment. They deemed it gross lolly nay, worse highly criminal, to continue a course of operations which must result in absirnctinjj, to their full amount, the precious metals from Ohio, while, so fur as they could soe, no corresponding benefit would result therefrom. In this condition of the monetary uflhirs of the country, and with the further embarrassment arming from a refusal of the Land Offices to receive Hank paper in payment of the public lunds, the Ohio Bunks felt it to be an imperious du;y to adopt the coume they did, for i he purpuso of guarding against consequences which they foresaw must prove fatal to tlie Bunks, and diauatrous to the besi interests of ilie State. Tlie suspension of specie payments by the Ohio Banks was nearly simultaneous, and without concert: allowing that similar views and similar feelings influenced thf m to the course iliey took. To that part of the resolution which requires an opinion os to the time when the Banks expect to resume specie payments, a simple declaration Uiat tee do not know, might be deemed an iusuliicieni answer. The interrogatory would seem to warrant an opinion of the policy or impolicy of resuming, in iliu present condition of the country. Presuming that s few remarks on a subject in which the public is so deeply concerned, will nut be deemed either out of place or impertinent, we will proceed to give them, in as brief s manner as possible, and thin leave it for those who are to puss upon this important matter, to determine how farlhuy ought, and how fur they ought nor, toytve their support to a measure brought forward for the purpose of coercing the Belike into a resumption of specie payments, in the present embarrus-si?d condition of the country, and in the face of a declaration by (hose whohuve both thepowerand the disposition to enforco it, that nothing but gold and silver will be received on account of public lands; nnd that, in all time to come, Bank paper will be refused, even if converted into coin at the will of the holder. It is known to the veriest tyro in banking, that the useful nt a of Banks nay, that their very existence, d pends on public confidence. It' Mint is withliold, they can be of no use, either to the community in which they are located, or to those interested in them. Tlie refusal at the Land Olfices of specie paying Bank notes, when for fifteen or twenty years (buy have been received, and without a mason being assigned lor the refusal, wns eminently calculated to discredit Bank paper with the public generally. It is a fact notorious to the most casual ubsurver, end which it were useless to attempt to disguise, even il we felt inclined to do so, that tlie mea sures ol the Secretary ol the 1 rwiaury, since July, 1834, in reference to Western Bank p!tper,huvc resulted, whethitr so intended or not, in exciting a general distrust of paper money i and the unfurl unit te compulsory suspension of spucie payment, which followed Soon after, completed the mischief the Secretary began. It the Specie Circular ware rescinded, and Bonk pa pe rum do receivable in piymeutof public lauds, the confi dence of the public in Bttnk uoh'S would be at once r-'storcu, nnu the Western Ilnnks could, and would, commence thepuymeut ol specie for their notes forthwith t but to attempt a resumption while tlw country is so deeply in debt, and under the low discredited condition of pnper money, would I ring on s stato of things which no benevo lent mind co in U contemplate but with Inclines ol tlceo lerret. We will now endeavor to show what we believe would be tlrt result of the resumption of speci payments in the present condition of the Banks and the country: The paper circulation would be itiinrned for pnvment as fust ni the holders could present it Bank notes would dissappear from circulation t and, oe a consequence, the vaults ot the Banks would bo emptied ol cum No further discounts or loans would or could he maths, nor Bink notes issued; and fur this obvi ous reason, there would be no coin on which to liase sn issue. Tho Bunks would then bo in condition to collect their debts, (tf thut were possible,) and wind up ttioir affairs. Il any one en tertoins a belief that the coin taken from the Banks would paas into circulation, and till the vacuum created Dy toe wiinurawai oi (tie paper, such individual will find, should the experiment ol s resumption be made, that he was most wo fully mistuken. A large proportion !' the specie would be drawn hy those who would invest it in the purchase of Government lands; it would go into and be locked up in sub-Treasuries, (ill wanted for public use) and when expended, it wmild he In sections of the country lar distant from Ohio and the other Western Steles. Not a ty the of tho amount paid fur public lands in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, end Michiiran, would be ex nended in that reuion of country which stretches irom the loot ol the mountains to tlie Mississippi. That portion of coin tnkon from the Binks and not used in purchases from Government, would be locked tip by the miser and usurer. The amount thus held miiihl as well, lor all useful pun poses, he in the mint's from whence it was taken, or buried in the drptlis of (ho ocean. But if, per chince, any ponton of it should escape Irom tta prison house and find its way into circulation, it would be on terms ruinous to those who were auxiliary to il. Such, we apprehend, would be some, tfiough few, of tho ruinous consequences which would flow from a resumption ol specie payments by tho Bunks in tho now discredited condition ol their paper. Bui the worst is not told. The people of Ohio ore deeply indebted to the Banks to the amount, we liclievn, of some fifteen millions ofdullnrs, resulting in part from their Inst year's unfortunate firodurespecultttionstand they would contimi;to o so indebted ofter the specie-paving; process had gone through, nnd left (he Stato destitute, or I nearly so, uf a circulating medium the specie-paving process having, ua we have before shown, stripped the country ot both coin and paper. It then becomes a matter of grave end inte resting speculation, how or by whut means ibis debt is lo bo cancelled Tins stone is a problem sufficiently difficult of solution, without stopping lo consider the countless thousands due by individuals to one another, the collection of which, in sedition, would curry the distreoi ihroughout all the ramifications of society. There is but one way lhat we can eee,bv which thisenormousdcbt, uniW such s siato ol things, could be paid within a reasonable time. Oiiu-founh part, or perhaps one huh the property of the country would be , aaerilici-d lo clfect il. In tins dt plornbla condition of affairs, dm lintls of Legislation would be ; beset by thousands of suppliants, imploring the Lrgisloture for relief. If, therefore, praters were ' In tho tin! instance unlierdrd, a People, undo . dutperste hy the ruin thut menaced them, would -then prefer their complaints in language that could not be misunderstood, and which it miirht be don- S-fi eruusfor their Kcpnacotattvesto diire;jurii reft Ik would be the wdcr of the day, ami lbs c"nrtMitiiiin of lha land would ba made tu band to he uoeoasiues of a suffering community. Prudent inenwillbewareofbeinfrauxilisry to bringing about such a state of things; none but those incapable of foreseeing the consequences of their own rash act, will attempt it. The Stcubenville Bank: The efforts which have been recently made to impair public confidence in the Farmers1 and Me chanics Bank of Steubenville, on account of ita temporary suspension of specie payments, have induced the undersigned, directors of lhat institution, to present to the public a brief exposition of the causes which led to tho adoption of that measure, and which yet operate, to require us continuance.' While they freely admit, that the existence of a papor currency, which is not con vertible into specie at the pleosure of the holder, is a serious public evil, they leel the fullest confidence that, with a knowledge of all the circum stances connected with the measure in question, snd the motives which induced it, there are few in the community who, upon s dispassionate consideration of the subject, will be disposed to cen sure il. Fur the purposes intended by this address, it is not necessary to review and discuss the causes which have brought about the existing embarrassment in the pecuniary and commercial concerns of the country. It insufficient to advert to the fact, that the result of the commercial operations between this country and Euroue. during the last year, was the accumulation of an unprecedented amount of debt, s si favor of the foreign merchants and manufacturers. The ordinary means relied on for the payment of a debt thus crested, are the agricultural products ol the country, especially the cotton of the southern States; but the prices of theso products in the foreign market having been oreatly nnd unexpectedly reduced, they proveu insufficient to pay the debt oa it became due and, as an unavoidable consequence of this deficiency, large summits of specie were required for exportation. This state of things produced, at once, on extraordinary demand for specie and un incessant run upon the Banka in the eastern cities. They found it necessary, in order to prevent their specio from being drawn out and exported, to suspend payment. This measure having been universally adopted by the Eastern and Southern Banks, no alternative was loft to the Ohio, and other Western Banks, but to follow thoir example. ino undersigned most sincerely regretted that a resort (o this measure, on the part of the Fanners' and Mechanics Bank, been mo necesary; and tliuy oasure the public, lhat had no demands upon the institution been made or anticipated, except by our own citizens and for domestic purposes, it would have continued specie payments. But, in ineir view, me policy, nay, the ncecsity, ot tha course adopted by them, was obvious; and they think it will be fully vindicated and clearly illustrated, by considering what would have been tho inevitable consequences, if the Western Bankti had continued specie payments, after all the Eastern Banks had rinsed thrir vaults. The fact being known that the Western Banks continued to puy specie, and specie commanding in llm commercial cities a premium of from seven to twelve per cent., it is apparent, that (ho West would huve been speedily visited with orders of brokers, money changers' and speculators, in eager pursuit of it, for exportation. The effect would have been, lhat the Western Banks would have been drained of every dollar of their coin. But, so far as the community ia concerned, this woutu not nave been the whole extent ot the evil; the Bunks would have been compelled to make extraordinary efforts to meet the demands against them they must nut only have refused to discount a single dollar, but must have pressed their debtors for immediate payment. The property uf ineso act) tors, in the state ot unrigs here supposed, must have been sacrificed, and a most unparalleled sceno of distress, accompanied with a total prostration of business, and groat depression in the prices of properly, would have been the certain result. And, it will be obvious, that this deplorable condition of things would not have been of brief duration it would have continued for a series of years. The Bunks, deprived of their specie, nhd without the mesns of regaining if. would have had neither the means, or any inducement, at any future period, to rosume business. Their only course would have been, to collect their outstanding debts as soon as practicable and bring their concerns to a close. And what lhn would have Wen the condition of the country for a succession of years? The groat proportion of the specie of the country Ironsoortcd lo Europe. and the Banks affording no paper currency, wt should be literally without a circulating medium, ana snouia be driven lo the primitive system of bartering and exchanging one commodity for nuMipr. Without entering more at Urzo into the consid eration of ibis subject, may it not be safely af firmed, that the eourse pursued by the institution with which we are connected, in common with the other Western Banks, is that which is most promotive of the present and future interests of the country! The undersigned solemnly asftura ilie public that such ieoj and ii (heir doliberato conviction. And ihey conlidcnily assort, lhat hud they been governed b ihe more consideration of advancing (heir own interests as stockholders, a different course would have been adopted. They hazard nothing in saying, thai had the Bank continued specie payments pressed its debtors for payment purchased their property, (a in that event ihey would have been compelled to do) tho profits to the stockholders, of ouch an operation, would have been greater dun all the dividends ihey will receive from this period to tho expiration of the charter of the Bank. In regard lo the tune when specie payments may po resumed, the undersigned c:in only say, that tho state of the institution which is entrusted to their management is such, as lo enable il to pay specie whenever the Eastern Banks shall do so and they have no doubt but theso Banks will resume the moment thai specie shall cease to ho on object of speculation for shipment nbruad. The suspension of Ibis Bmk having been inconsequence of the prior suspension of the Eastern Banks, its return to specie payments must follow theira; and it is I lie purpose of the undersigned, as it will be llieir pride and pleahiirr, to sos iliat the latter shall be as prompt as the former. And, as an evidence of a disposition on thoir part, to mitigate, aa far as practicable, the evils of the existing stale of things, tUav appeal to the lacta that (he institution hue continued lo furnish the community with specie change for its notes; and they assure the public that it is thoir determination to pursue this course, so long as lbs Bank can supply itself wilh small coin.

In tlio ititermctltiling wiib tlie currency, that hai brought on thii nation inrh laial disasters, convulsing ni it wero lite wltolo btiiineaa con comments nf the country to the very centre., there ie nothing that shows greater woakuees, ol-ignorance of financial operation. than the di-a- pornfc attempt that haa lircntnadeto suppress tin i cirotilutiun ot the lower denomination of bsn! . notes. Throw the small tioiea out of circulalioni snd their place must be supplied with the pre-ctous metals for circulating currency, elae, at hns been the onse for some lime past, there wt'l be no currency for common business transselions but lite sliin-plnstors uf individuals snd corpora tiutia. If tho precious metals were to be aulisii-luted, so much specie capiial must be drawn from the moneyed iustitiiliona of the country. And il ia b matter of tact, that ennnot bo denied, tttBlthe amount of specie in the United States is not mucb mor. then enoutfh to answer the wants oi tlx People for ilie smaller domestic exchangee,nllow--ing the most economical and wisely sdjuatrd sy lem of commercial transactions lo be in vouo . What then would banking inetiimione do fir .a basis for issues of the larger denominations) The fact is, the suppression of the circulation o f small bills is the Loco f'oco dicirino in disguise. It iB virtually carrying into ctrcct the svstcin ol n hard money currency. Adopt this sclieme, ontl banking institutions that are compelled to reduen i their notes with specie, (and none other should 1 1 cutild be tolerated,) would bo cuneiraincd towing up their concerns. Thoir business must bo limi ted proportionality to their specio cnpusli and this would then be so sinsll, it would bs no object 10 continue opeiatinns. No banks should bo chsriered, unlrss tnsde sa 10 in so.ne wsy to the public unless Ihe rodent n-lion of their billa be made sura. And thus responsible, why not issus small notes as well us large! If. bank be not reBUoneihlc, there ouj hi. in truth lo be noemieeiun but if aaff, whnt is iho dillrrence, whether it issues one ihoiisnnd tine dollar bills, or one, one thou. and duller bill I l ia argued thai the larger denominations arc wanted tor commercial exchanges, snd they noght: lo he retained fur llisl purjmse. But they aro not. wanted fur that use, ss much as tlio smaller. Ilnw ntany inathncra daily occur ol individuate wittinif to remit small siims by m..il, Bud hove no not ?ible wsy of doing It, but by the uao of small bank, noti'e. A great proportion of ihe receiptauf pub. lishers of pspers como to hand in this wsy ano this loo, ia no small item in lb. business cor.cora. of tha American Couple, who so liberally patiw-nit. the press but ut trifling consideration wWa compared to the whole amount nf email ropiitta-cob made for other purpose. Throw oiw ol' cir culation small bills, and there is no substitute for this kind of remittance. But for large remittances, drafts may be obiuined, and the Turgor notea oe dispensed with.

From tii Lebanon fltsr OHIO INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. We are indebted to our Representative for the Report of the Board of Public Works, which shows the condition of the works of internal improvement in the State. It covera 6 octavo pages. We will endeavor to condetiae it ao as to give Ihe tubitanct without the verbiage. I. The Ohio Canal hits been navigable from the 20ih of April to the 1st of December, wilh the exception of 20 miles at lite South end. The navlgntion of this psrt was suspended in consequence of the destruction of a alone aqueduct of about SO feet apan, 10 miles from Portsmouth, occasioned hy the sudden rise of Cump creek. Kromlhe difficulty of obtaining hands, the overflowing of the Scioto, and the continual fevers prevalent in that region, the repairs of the aqueduct were not completed until late last fall. The consequence haa been a eerioua detriment to the interests of the people of the Suioto valloy, and a loss to the State in lolls. The amount received for tolls, fines and water ronis, tic, for the year ending Dec. I, Ut37, in $293,40 79. The receipts for 1031), were $211,023 32 allowing on increase for 1837 over IU36 of $01 ,(103 47. Taking into conaideralion lite genoral depreesinn in the business operations of the country and the time lost in repairs, this result is highly gratifying. The Ohio Canal, we believe, ii3ll) miles long, reaching from Portsmouth, on ihe Ohio River, to Cleveland, on Lake Ene. The It'Mimditig and Moltiran Canal, oa far as located, is 23 miles in length, extending from the Ohio Canal, war Roscoc, to a point on the Mohican, about four miles above tho junction formed by the Vernon and Mohican Rivers. Eighteen miles are wow under contract, and Ihe work ia progreeaing wilh much spirit. It. estimated cost is $307,467 14. The Board propose the extension ol il to some feasible point in Richland County; up Vernon river to Mount Vernon in Knox county i and np iba Killbuck lo Milleraburgh, in the county of Holm.. HabaAand Erit Canal. This important work, eighty-nine miles in length, extending from iis termination near Mauhattun, lo Ihe Indiana line, is now under contrueiTnd when finished will be of immense advantage to Ihe people ot Ohio and Indians. It will form, when coinploted, a continuous esnsl commutiicsiiun from Lafayette, on the Wabasb river, to the town of Manhattan, a distance, we believe, of about two hundred miles. It paeses through lerule and deligbtlul region of country, mostly of spurae population and Mine of it b ttildemtur which, we have no doubt in a few years, will become the habitation of en en lerprising, indostrious and intelligent poputstion, who wilfcleave down the forests and erect cities, tnwna aud villagca,and promote, on a new field, all the arts of civilimd life. The estimated cool of Ohio's proportion of this Canal, ia $1,900,540. The funda for ita cunatruction ore derived from the Bale of the "Wabash and Erie Canal lands." Sales to the- amount of $31)3,1100 have already been made. The Board ia uf opinion, that no further sale, aiiotiid take pluce until the lunds re enhanced in value by tlie eonatruction of the Canal, and that l Stale can more advuiBgeoua-ly borrow money fir ir.prc.eiit prosecution.

And il wis a repetition, probnbly, nf the foregoing acene which cloaed its death door upon this great man. by stratagem a prisoner nf war, and cut off in Ihe tenilh of his ife by wounded pride that preyed on his proud spirit, and forever closed upon the brilliant career at, in all probability, waa destined lor bim. We are not of those who affect any overweening sympathy for the fortunes of the Indian race, or extravagant odmirnn'in oi tnetr diameter. That they nave been moat inhumanly persecuted hy the white races, since Ilia first settlement of the country, is moat true. h'Jil'ey hove often taken cruel revenge on their eivTized conquororB ia noleasso. But of their inferiority, intellectually apeaking, to the whitea there can bo no doudl and their destiny, therefore, haa been of necessity lhat of subjection to ua. Their high moral qualities, and their wild bill blameless life, and their coursge, we lenve to another occasion. A great man of them greater doubtless because his blood wss bnlf white, though his habits were all Indian, haa fallen among them. In estimating him thereibre,it is necessary to make soma deduction for our own race. Had hi. counacla been atrictly adhered toby the greedy, grasping Government agentaaent into Florida bolore the war broke out, all would have been well but they had their aetfish views, and were punished for it with ig-nominous death) and many's the stream and the everglade there, that fur these mercenary men haa aince drunk deeply of Ihe blood of our beat chivalry. If Osceola had lived and gons on the prairies west, 30,000 men, as he told Mr. C. wera there to do hie bidding. He made numberless enquiries of Mr. U. of the wood, watoraud game of lhat region; and there's no doubt bis mind was fixed to g , and there lo have recommenced a ferocious, cruel and bloody border wor, lo which lhal ot Florida and all ita attendant horrora would have proved a mere episode. The Cammonchce, Ihe Osngee, the Pawnees, and thonaanda of their mounted warriora, with spear of knight and caparisoned horse, would, under this noble Chief, hove covered the llowrr-ennmellid prairies with their conquering hordes, and carried doaih and ruin throughout the border of tlio Miasisaippi from Texas lo Wiaconain. So fur, therefore, his deuth haa been a fortunate event for the frontier actilcrs there, and we doubt if the newa does not dampen tho ardor of hia attccesaors, Wild Cat and Alligator, now fighting for tho honor of their incarcerated Chief, who waa Ihe soul, Ihe life, ihe very body and tmpulae of every movement in Florida, and whoae noma imparted a laliemanic charm that proved an inspiration to battle though he waa not there. Now thai his spirit has winged its wsy to etornily, the face of affairs may entirely change. All who compare the fine portraits of Osceola, which happily for lite curious Mr. Cailin haa so fortune!' ly aeiied at the very last puaeage of his glorious life, will be struck with the perfect correspondence of their trails to all that we know of hia character, and aleo of the immeaaurable die-tancc there ia between his physiognomy snd form nnd thnt of the mere Florida Indian himaelf, like Micanopy, Cloud, Coadjoho, who aro of a darker hue and coarser features, analogoua to lite African. While Oaceola'a bear Ihe very stamp of high mstlled nobility and of commanding geniua. Tlie penaive melnncholy cast of expression, the lurking tire of B noble black eye, a lowering forehead, whose finely carved and compressed outline and playful smila indicate an unflinching firmness of resolve. PUBLIC SYMPATHY. The following article, we copy from the Louisville Dsily Herald of Wednesday last. We perfectly agree with the aitihur, thai our sympathies should, at least, 6rgtrt at home. Wa have been lavish of ihem abroad. A SvatrvrnxTic PxnrLi. Th. citlxens of ihe United Slates are certainly the ntoal aympa-thetic people in Ihe world. They have sympaihis ed with Ilia South Americans, with the Ureeks, with Ihe Poles, with lite Tetisns, with the Canadians, and with cvsry othsr set ol foreign Patriota, who Have raised the standard of revolt agaittal tyranny and nrsrulo. They have from time lo time tnsde liberal donation, of money, arma and iniiniliona of war, lo aid Ihe oppressed against their oppreasors. The pulpits in their churches hsseediued and vibrated with ptituo denunciations againat tne enemies ol liberty and the rights of man. Collections have been taken up, as lof a Isoly purpose, to aid muse who claimed to b. atniggling lor freedom. The preasea have groaned with Ihe labor of throwing otf folio after folio, teeming with expruatioua of indignation againat tyranny. The people have met in primary assemblies anu passea uy acclamation resolutions expreeeing their Bvmpnihy fur the euflerera nndor nuarule, and their hatred of evil rulers. Stump orators have racked their brains to introduce into their liarrangueainoiaphora and anilities lo type the barbarity of Spain upon her colonies, the outrage, of the Turkish infidel upon tlio Clirisitnn Oruek, the vengeance ol tne izar upon the devoted Poles, the butcheries by the Muxicona ot lite unoffending Texiaua, and ihe gross outrages of Ureal Utitoin in her Canadian colonica. And while til these charitablo deeda have been doing for people abroad, and while we have been proclaiming ouiaclve e lo the world as the champions of right and libeity, and boasting of our benevolcuec uud jtieiico, wo havelost sight of the homely insxim, thai Vtarittbeimathotne and we huve overlooked deeds of oppression within ourown borders, more cruolanu ruthless than any, lhat in the aame lime, have been enacted by other nations.

Wa have infracted th. tiealies, and scorned their complaints. We have snjfered our people tu commit outrages upon them, and denied them the right lo come into a Court of jtulice lor redress. Wo have over-awed Ihem with our power, and lorced ili.in to barter tnctr lands at our pticr, and then remove from them, or when they have reftiaed, we have waged against them B cruel war of extermination. We have had among ua a nation the Crecka who in less than hull a century emerged Irom bsrborisui lo civilisation, and made a progress in refinement and in the eultivatiun of toilers, unparalleled in Ihe some space of time, by any people known to history.

We take from the New York Evening Star, a cautionary notice, which ia subjoined for the amusement of the Ohio Rail Rail Hoad Company, a corporate body well known in this State, and utmewhal, surely, out of those limits. The Company "was charteredby the Ohio Legitlalure in 1836," and the capita is accurately stated in the extract, and will, we doubt not, be actively employed (when "the Government" shall lighten the pressure of its hard haled currency) in the construction of ore or thk most important internal improvements of the Bge a continuous line of Rail Road from East to West, through Northern Ohio, connecting, on the line of Michigan, with the great Rail Road enterprise of that State, and, on Ihe line of Pennsylvania, wilh a continuation, through the North part of that State, of the New York and Erie Ruil Road, We do not so much wonder at the Star for locating Richmond (a flourishing village near the mouth of Grand river, on Lake Erie) where is the principal office of the Company "some twen! ty miles above Cincinnati, on the Ohio river," as we do that an Editor in Ohio should affirm that "such as inetitotion has never been chartered by our Legislature." Ohio Ailai, Caution. The Piqua Courier, of the 13th ult., takes the following notice of the issue of notes, at a village some twenty miles above Cincinnati, on the Ohio river. $4,000,000 Capitai,! The public should be on their guard when bills, purporting lo be issued by tho "Ohio Kail Rosd Company,11 and dated at Richmond, Ohio, nre ottered. The face of the notes state that the company was chartered by the Ohio Legislature in 1036, granting them a right to operate on a capital of 4,000,000 of dollars!
